Best Businesses in Austin, TX

While I did not use this company because they only do work on commercial buildings, they recommended us to one of the less known Bowne Electrical, who did a great job on my residence in a time crunch of 4 days

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

Rick is my go to expert for HVAC, appliance repair, and light maintenance for over 10 years on my personal home and investment properties. I've been in the real estate industry for over 16 years and I am particular about who I refer. He is professional, kind, reliable and honest.

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

I contacted Ruiz Electric on 12/27/18. He came out on 12/28/18. He communicated with me and showed up when he said he would, everything. Super nice guy!! He found and fixed our issue pretty quickly... a loose wire in the wall. For issues we have had in the past that needed repair, I have had a hard time finding people to come to Kyle. He came out with NO issue. We will definitely use him again if ever needed. I highly suggest you use this guy!

Absolute Electric will figure out your electric troubles, and explain it in a way that we can understand. They do more than just hang a ceiling fan. They make sure it's right and safe. How come that light won't come on? Call them - They'll figure it out!

I called Freedom Enterprise electrical, Scott the owner answered and made an appt, he showed up on time, which is so rare to find with many companies these days. I had a problem with the electrical wiring in the house, it was a tricky problem. Scott found the source and fixed it. Excellent service with very Low Cost. He was professional and honest. I highly recommend this company.

They showed up punctualy and quickly diagnosed the problem with my Service Panel Box. Laid new wire and rewired wall box and no more breakers tripping. Definitely a professional crew.

Very professional! Arrived when promised, diagnosed and corrected problem. Michael, the dispatcher, and Jim, the tech, were great!

Very professional guys.  Efficient and clean.  Polite and easy to have in your home.  Great prices, too!!

Oscar was great and very helpful. I got a quote from many other electricians and were waaaaay off from Oscar. They were trying to sell me something I didnt need. Oscar was honest and fair. He fixed my issue without selling me something I didnt need. I recommend him for all your electrical needs.

Bob and his company did a great job installing our back porch outlets, fans and TV's a few years ago. I have recommended him and his company to many people. They do good quality work at a good value.

They have always done a fantastic job for us.  We had a home built in 1974 and had them upgrade numerous electrical issues.  They were on time and professional and did a great job!!

I received excellent service from CTE  and I recommend them for any electrical services . Tomas was very professional, courteous and on time .

Very quick to respond and easy to work with. Honest work at a very good price. Will use again.

Apex electric has completed three jobs at my house.  One was an emergency breaker job late at night, a Tesla charger in my garage and two outlet issues. All the jobs were completed fast and at a great price.   I highly recommend Apex.

never trust the bids from fusion electric company..they will give you a reasonable bid then charge triple the bid when finished...then tell you it was not a bid but an estimate..very dishonest ...would not recommend

Unfortunately I am one of the apparently many that have had horrible experiences with Dunman Electric. My first mistake was not looking at yelp before hiring them. However, both my mother and brother used them around 6 years ago and had no issues so it didn't even cross my mind.

I called Dunman on Tuesday 9/11/18 to get a quote for installing two ceiling fans I had purchased. The receptionist, Becky, was incredibly nice and told me that they charge $95 per fan if there is already existing blocking, or $120 per fan if there is no blocking. This seemed like a reasonable price, so I scheduled the installation for 9/14/18 and was very pleased they were able to fit me in so quickly. My second mistake was not getting these prices in writing.

I scheduled the time frame for 10am-12pm because I have two roommates that work late and sleep in, but I got a call at 9 am that the technicians would be there in 15 minutes. They were at the house 5 minutes later. Thankfully, my roommate woke up to my call to let them in and my parents were able to get to the house quickly to meet them. It was a bit stressful and I had spend 15 minutes of work time dealing with it, but I let it go because I know these things happen.

Then, when the technicians started they did not place any sort of plastic down under the first fan so my roommate's bed, dressers, and floor was COVERED in insulation (which had fiberglass in it) and drywall dust. They shook out her comforter and vacuumed the floor when they were done, but they still left a huge mess and we had to to a much more extensive cleaning later before she could sleep that night.

Next, there was an issue with the fan blades. The fan blades had two sides with different colors. They installed them black side down without asking which color we preferred. This was partially our mistake for not making clear which side to do before they started, but when asked to flip them they said, Well I picked the black side because it matched the furniture. It is not a technician's job to decide which color blade looks better in someone else's house. He then said it would be another $80 to flip the blades. This was quite annoying but, again, I just let it go and figured I would just figure out how to flip them later.

But then came time to pay. They finished and said the total was $569.  
That is well over double the price I was told. They said they charged $170/hour, it took 3 hours, and there was an extra fee because I had not had any blocking for the fans. Unfortunately, my mom did not realize what they had quoted me and filled out a blank check I had left.

They also left their ladder in the garage, as well as the old lights and trash from the ceiling fan packaging in piles in the rooms.

I was still at work but I immediately called back the office and relayed everything that had happened to the receptionist to figure out what was going on. She told me she would pass my complaints on to a manager, who would get in contact with me after she talked to the technicians. I called back after an hour of not hearing from them. The receptionist informed me my case had been escalated to the owner and he would get in contact with me, however he was at an electrical emergency and it may not be until later that afternoon before I heard from him. I never heard from him. At this point I put a stop payment on the check so it would not be cashed before I had a chance to talk to Craig.

I had to call them back myself Monday. When I finally got in touch with him he informed me that while, yes, his receptionist had told me $120 per fan, the lowest he would go for the service was $450. $125 per fan installation plus $100 per fan for the blocking.

At this point I had already had to take a half day off of work and spent the entire weekend stressing about the situation. I am a first time, single homeowner in my 20's and I do not have $300+ laying around for a job I thought would be much cheaper. I would never have agreed to let this company do the work if I had gotten a quote for this amount upfront. It is not a good feeling to feel like you have been scammed. From the looks of the other reviews it seems like I'm not the first person that has felt this way after hiring them. On the plus side, they have taught me to always get any quotes for work in writing.

I would strongly advise anyone looking for an electrician to look elsewhere. There are plenty of honest companies in Austin. If you insist on using Dunman, make sure you get everything in writing. In the end, I agreed to this price to get all of this behind me and to keep from missing any more work, not because I thought it was fair or just. I truly hope Craig and everyone else at Dunman learns from this experience and can provide better service for their customers.

Everyone I talked with at Jon Wayne Air Conconditioning was pleasant, helpful, and knowledge. Such a delight to have an air conditioning company that is so willing to help.
